1 CommScope In-Building Wireless Solutions

2 Improve coverage and enhance capacity CommScope s in-building wireless (IBW) solutions provide the products and services to address the most complex mobile challenges. Wireless technology has become the primary communications method in public venues and commercial buildings for both personal communication and first responder services. As wireless penetration rates approach and exceed 100 percent, users demand that their wireless-connected electronic devices work just as effectively indoors as they do outdoors. First responders require reliable, ubiquitous radio coverage to ensure the safety of the public as well as themselves in emergency situations. CommScope s In-Building Wireless (IBW) Solutions provide the products and services to address the most complex mobile challenges. CommScope s IBW Solutions include repeaters (or bi-directional amplifiers) and Distributed Antenna System (DAS) infrastructure. All of CommScope s products are modulation agnostic and broadband, ensuring a future-ready solution. A DAS is a network of spatially separated antennas connected by coaxial cable and fiber that provides wireless service within a building. A DAS can be driven by a radio base station directly or off-air using a repeater or a combination of the two depending on the needs of the wireless service providers (WSP) or public safety system managers. There are two types of DAS infrastructure: passive and active. In a passive DAS, coaxial cable distributes the Radio Frequency (RF) signals from a base station or repeater. Splitters are then used to divert a fraction of the RF energy along the horizontal floors of the building via coaxial cabling. An active DAS is similar to a passive system, but uses fiber-optics to move the signals long distances before going into coaxial cable for the final transmission. This type of system (often called a hybrid-fiber-coax DAS) is broadband, scalable and extremely flexible. Every DAS infrastructure used in an IBW Solution requires a signal source. WSPs play an influential role in the DAS infrastructure requirements to ensure the solution matches the operator s voice and data needs. Working closely with the WSPs is required, as they own the spectrum that is used by the IBW Solutions and it makes the optimization and operation of the system easier and more efficient. 2

3 Experience and excellence make CommScope s In-Building Wireless Solutions the right choice In a world transformed by communications, convergence of voice, data and video brings today s mobile society together and enhances our lives, workplaces and communities. CommScope s In-Building Wireless Solutions can help shape the mobile future. With a comprehensive product portfolio, CommScope supports today s mobile society and helps build the foundation for reliable wireless service. CommScope, through its Andrew brand, has world-leading wireless service provider customers, while, through its enterprise division, it does business with building owners and tenants the world over. This customer base and corresponding product portfolio make CommScope unique in supporting all communication needs to the sector. CommScope provides a one-stop source for managing the entire lifecycle of a wireless network. The IBW product line offers a complete solution that serves 2G, 3G, and 4G wireless networks. The signature Andrew flash logo, seen on microwave tower and cellular equipment throughout the world, symbolizes a 75-year legacy built upon excellence in customer service, quality and innovation. CommScope is a recognized world leader in infrastructure solutions for communications networks, and its Andrew product line is an integral aspect of CommScope s network infrastructure solution. CommScope enables customers around the world to create a connected environment that supports current and future business and technology opportunities by providing the right network infrastructure solution. Employees and guests; suppliers and customers all have come to expect reliable connectivity wherever they may be, from their car to the office. The promise of mobility is here and CommScope s IBW Solutions ensure that it has no boundaries. CommScope provides a one-stop source for managing the entire lifecycle of a wireless network. 3

6 IBW technology A seamless fit for any building or campus The freedom that comes with wireless technology can get lost in the architectural design and layout of buildings, campuses and venues. Large buildings and campuses are often susceptible to weak or blocked signal areas. An IBW Solution is often implemented to ensure everyone stays connected. Forward-thinking businesses are enhancing coverage to integrate wireless applications that increase efficiency and productivity in an increasingly paperless society. Bringing control to the enterprise Flexibility and nimbleness are essential elements of business. Global enterprises are unwilling to be tethered to a single solution that limits the communications capabilities of their workforces, customers and suppliers. Carrier-neutral In-Building Wireless Solutions enable enterprises to take control of their own wireless communications and bring much-needed quality and reliability to wide-area voice and data service. CommScope s In-Building Wireless Solutions ensure that everyone stays connected whenever and wherever they are. In office buildings with multiple tenants, CommScope s IBW Solutions can free the enterprise from a single-carrier service commitment, opening up competition and allowing new wireless services to be offered. Whether an employee is below ground level or on the 42nd floor, everyone can stay connected and productive. Clear signals in campus environments Campus wireless infrastructure designs must be capable of supporting waves of increased network traffic that come from special events, sporting exhibitions, or a bandwidth-intensive business day. For most multi-building environments, ubiquitous wireless access that comes from an IBW system is an extension of better service to the customers and guests. For campuses covering a large land area with multiple buildings, CommScope s IBW and DAS technology provides an always-on, broadband solution for all WSPs and public safety systems on a single infrastructure. It brings peace of mind for those responsible to maintain harmony and provide excellent service. Better support for emergency first responders Globally, organizations like the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the International Code Council (ICC) publish codes that mandate sufficient emergency first responder radio coverage in all commercial and large office buildings. Many municipalities adopted their own ordinances to ensure in-building coverage and similarly establish a specific level of public safety radio coverage in all large buildings and campuses. Government officials want to ensure first responders can communicate effectively indoors when emergencies arise. CommScope s IBW Solutions amplify all wireless networks coverage while serving as a communications lifeline to onsite emergency crews and security personnel. Similar to WSPs, CommScope works closely with local officials to ensure the deployment meets the minimal requirements set forth by local ordinances. 6
